In 2021, Natascha Gentz and Christopher Rosenmeier became the editors-in-chief, taking over from Kirk A. Denton, and publication was transferred from Ohio State University to Edinburgh University Press. The journal is abstracted and indexed in the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, and issues appear on JSTOR following an embargo period. The publisher also offers subscribers electronic access to issues from 2020 onward.[2]
Book reviews have not appeared in the print journal since 2003. They are instead published on the MCLC Resource Center, a website on modern China cultural studies that is affiliated with the journal. The MCLC Resource Center maintains a literature database and also publishes translations, interviews, bibliographies, and articles with a strong multimedia component. The journal publishes occasional special issues.
